Types of Legal Description

Jonathan Watson

There are various types of legal description which you may encounter in deeds in Indiana. They may be found simpliciter[1] or in combination with other types of legal description. If you end up working for a title company, you may end up required to sketch or draw a legal description; for the purposes of this book, we will focus upon learning about each type of legal description.

[1] Simpliciter means “simply” or “by itself.”
